Butterflies are always Beautiful

This card is for the Sketch Challenge at CDAC.  The beautiful butterfly image is from Sue, McMahon Five Designs.  The digi is colored with copics and Gelly Roll Pen.  Glitter, Sky Blue & Gun Metal.  DP for the background is from Stamping Up and the Swirls are from a Paper Passport pad by Provo Craft.  Pearls from Dollarama colored with copic marker.

Tonight we start daylight saving time so our clocks are set an hour ahead to-night so hopefully we can sleep in for an extra hour tomorrow morning. 

Purple Lanterns

This card is for the CDAC Color Challenge.  The wonderful purple lantern digi is from Crafty Ann's. The colors we were to use were pink, purple and lilac.   I used Purple Glitter Glue from Gary M. Burlin to decorate the lanterns.  The oriental lady stamp is from Sparkle & Sprinkle.  I think she is very pretty, I like the flowers and other decorations in her hair. Used copics to color her.   Gems and DP are from my stash.

Having a very quiet day to-day.  The rain has stopped a few days of it was enough. The creek that runs behind our townhouse is running very fast, I am glad that there are high walls to keep it enclosed.   Curled on Friday and we won - Yea!

Other Theme Challenge CDAC

This was a fun digi to work with.  It is from Design 2 Delight Digital Stamps.  The challenge was to use 2 or more patterned papers on the card.  I used three patterns from Colorbok.  Colored the image with copics.
The greeting is from Chapel Road Artstamps colored with orange copic.  Kept all the colors very bright.

We still have snow on the ground and very cold.  Managed to do some sewing yesterday, got out my serger and sewed around the edges of four receiving blankets.  Took me as long to thread the machine, (used four different colors,) as it did to do the sewing. They did look nice when they were done.  I'm off to curling in an hour so had better go get ready.
